How Panopto scales - from web servers to encoders, databases, and storage solutions. Whether deployed onsite or using our hosted solution on the Amazon cloud, Panopto scales to meet your organization's video needs. Panopto makes it easy to record, share, and search video–in a single solution that requires zero new hardware and zero specialized training. Panopto’s video content management system automatically standardizes almost any video camera, then automatically encodes and uploads to a secure, searchable “Enterprise YouTube” of video content that can be shared internally or with partners and customers.
